Hey everyone
I've written a book - a spy action thriller.
A story summary is below:
THE GOLDILOCKS GAME (by Peter Strongbear):
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/7266/goldilocksgamebookcovervo6.jpg
Russian tennis champ, Tatiana Likamolova is the golden girl of the game: supermodel looks, a fairy-tale winning streak and a string of multi-million-dollar endorsements to her name…until one day, the game changes. Through an unusual twist of fate, the beautiful blonde ace finds her “just-right” life is turned upside down when she is thrust into the deadly and intrigue-filled world of international espionage: an unwilling spy, codenamed ‘Goldilocks', by secret intelligence agency ‘IRIS'.
With an upcoming tournament to defend and the No.1 world ranking up for grabs, the sexy Russian star is forced to choose between her dangerous covert mission and her glamorous tennis career. Can she work alongside cynical IRIS agent Jonah Bull, who is as different to her as chalk and cheese? Can she stay ahead of the game against KGB-like Russian secret service ‘RISK' and kinky assassins ‘Snow White' and ‘Rose Red'? And can she maintain her innocence and integrity while growing into a responsible young woman, as she strives to prevent mysterious organisation ‘The Three Bears' from carrying out their plans for a global bear market via a Byzantine and sinister plot that takes her from New York through Russia, China and the heart of Siberia and threatens to plunge the entire world into financial despair?
Set one minute into the future, The Goldilocks Game features a reluctant heroine forced to rise to the occasion in the face of incredible odds. Both action-packed and romantic, it is a spy-adventure-techno thriller, a coming-of-age story, and a modern fairy tale with a twist.
----------
Yeah, most of you know my love of Maria Sharapova, so it might come as no surpise to find a character pretty similar, but this novel has been years in the making from conception to publication, so much of my enthusiasm for her has been in association with this.
It would be great of course if you could buy a copy. It should appeal to those of you who like spy movies (particularly James Bond), comic books and beautiful women.
